What to expect on Sunday morning

Grace Kids' Programming

Infants to 3’s
Our youngest Grace Kids receive loving care by nurturing, trained volunteers.  Children in this age group take part in fun, Bible teaching and activities that help them understand God’s Word and who He is. We are currently using Orange Curriculum for our babies through 3’s classes. For questions or more information, contact Colleen.

Pre-K and Kindergarten

Our Pre-K and Kindergarten class builds upon what they learned in their nursery classes. Grace Kids teachers provide interactive, age-appropriate teaching and activities where children deepen their understanding of God’s word and what it means to have a relationship with Him. Our Pre-K and Kindergarten classes use the Orange curriculum.

1st to 3rd Grade

The 1st- 3rd graders participate in praise and worship, share announcements, pray, and hear a message from our volunteers using the Orange curriculum.

4th and 5th Grade

Route 45 is a fun and exciting ministry designed specifically to meet the needs of 4th and 5th graders. We seek to provide an environment when they can grow and be challenged in their faith and learn how their relationship with Christ effects how they live and make decisions. We desire for Route 45-ers to take “ownership” of their faith and put it into action. For questions or more information for PreK through 5th grade, contact Rachel Taylor.

Check-In

When you enter through the Commons, you will see signs pointing you toward Grace Kids.  At the Grace Kids entrance, you will be welcomed by our Grace Kids staff at our Welcome Desk.

If this is your first visit, you can check in at the Grace Kids Welcome Desk.  You will be asked to fill out a registration card and for security reasons, be given a card and pick up number.  Our greeters will also help direct you to your child(ren)’s classroom(s).

Please make sure you have your cell phone with you during the service. We have a text messaging system through which we communicate with our parents should we need you.  If you receive a text from us, please meet our Grace Kids staff at the Grace Kids entrance.

Wellness Policy

Grace Kids desires to provide a healthy environment in the Children’s Ministry at Grace Bible Church, and asks that parents keep their child at home when they observe any of the following symptoms:

  • Fever within the last 24 hours
  • Vomiting and/or diarrhea
